I personally was just getting to know Wade through Scouting but wow, what a truly special, funny, servant leader of a soul.
“Softly falls the light of day,
While our campfire fades away.
Silently each Scout should ask
Have I done my daily task?”
There is no doubt in my mind that Wade’s life was filled with good turns in his daily tasks, and always in service and kindness to others – he will be missed and his loss felt throughout.
Mary, you and your family will stay in my family’s prayers.
My Deepest Condolences go out to the Mayonado family, I hope you find comfort in these words, “He will swallow up death forever,……And will wipe away the tears from all faces. Isaiah 25:8
